My boyfriend and I came in after mass at Old Saint Mary’s across the street and decided to stop in for a coffee. There is no evidence we ordered pastries but the cinnamon roll and chocolate croissant were delicious. 😋 can’t wait to come back. Both employees were very kind and helpful

Great Bakery downtown! I got a Brown bear latte with oatmilk and the caramel pumpkin bun. Loved it so much I have to go back to try something new!

I can’t wait to go back. The absolute best savory feta fig croissants I’ve ever had, and the absolute most heavenly apple butter croissant. Me and my husband have the tradition to stop at a bakery every time we travel, and this one’s up there in our list

My husband and I ordered a red velvet cake topper and 6 dozen mixed doughnuts for our wedding and everything was perfect! Worked perfectly for our doughnut tower display incorporated with the cake top! Plus we preordered two bread bowls one wheat one pumpernickel and they were the first to be eaten! They were so good!

The pastries were excellent!! They clearly sell out fast - we visited twice and the first day we showed up an hour after opening to a very limited remaining selection. The croissants had excellent flavor and a really nice textural contrast between the exterior and interior. I tried a number of pastries and think a must-try is the artichoke croissant. If I were local I’d be here all the time!
